Just got off work at 7am, grabbing my morning whey prior to breakfast. Had great leg work out yesterday. High volume, GH workout. Calves, glutes mostly sore right now 20 hours later.
I am on the CHA diet again from Scivation. It works well for me. No carbs is the only way to go!! It is very suprising, I dont get those low carb blue’s as I did on a typical low carb, cycled with refeeds. My only complaint is that it is really hard most days to get a skin stretching pump in the gym.
I am expecting, as it has been my last 3 pre-contest preps, that I will hit a sticking point at 172 lbs. This weight is where I really start to show leaness, but I have had to in the past change things up. Funny how it is always at this weight. It is not a time based plateau, but a specific weight that I get stuck at. My first prep, I was there for almost 6 weeks before I realized I needed to do something different. That burned up so much time in a short 16 week prep. This year I will automatically change my diet and routine at the 1 week period I first hit morning weight at 172. What I do is reduce workout load, keep low intensity cardio, and boost calories 15% for the week. This gets my metabolism cranking again, then I cut it back after a week and BAM, weight starts droping like fat off slices of bacon on the griddle! Boy that would taste great right now, 
Well off to the gym, chest and bi’s with cardio.
